Chapter 1066: 276: Upon learning the truth, filled with immense regret (twenty-fifth update)_2
"Really?" Zuo Ling’s feelings were extremely complicated now.
Thinking back to what he had seen at the Ni Family last time, he felt as if he had missed out on a goldmine.
Madam Zuo nodded, "Yes! That’s definitely it! Come on, Lingling, let’s go to the bank. We need to pay Auntie Zhou her salary tomorrow!"
Madam Zuo dragged Zuo Ling to the bank.
Just at that moment, they ran into Shangguan Xu leaving the bank. He was looking down and saying something to the assistant behind him, clearly a high-ranking leader.
Zuo Ling was stunned again.
Shangguan Xi had mentioned that Shangguan Xu worked at the bank, and Zuo Ling thought he was just a menial worker, but it didn’t seem so now...
Could a menial worker have such an air about him?
"What’s wrong, Lingling?" Madam Zuo tugged at Zuo Ling’s sleeve.
Zuo Ling swallowed hard, "The person walking in front is Shangguan Xi’s older brother, Shangguan Xu."
"Shangguan Xi’s older brother?" Madam Zuo looked up.
Shangguan Xu also heard the noise and looked over here, then quickly averted his gaze as if the Zuo mother and son were mere ants.
Seeing this, Zuo Ling felt extremely upset.
After all, Shangguan Xu had been quite polite to him when they met the parents that night.
Madam Zuo, holding Zuo Ling’s arm, said, "If Shangguan Xi’s brother works at the bank, then the people there must surely know the Shangguan Family’s situation. Let’s go and inquire."
Zuo Ling was pulled by Madam Zuo into the bank lobby.
While withdrawing money, Madam Zuo took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, does that young man named Shangguan Xu work at your bank?"
The teller smiled and said, "Shangguan Xu is our bank manager."
Manager?
Hearing these two words, the Zuo mother and son were completely stunned.
What’s the concept of a manager?
Ordinary people find it very difficult to become even clerks at a bank, and if a family has a bank manager, he must be the pride of the entire family!
Not to mention a manager!
Neither Madam Zuo nor Zuo Ling expected Shangguan Xu to be the manager!
Madam Zuo was taken aback and then said, "Comrade, you must be joking with me! I know Shangguan Xu! He even has a sister named Shangguan Xi. If Shangguan Xu really is the manager, would he still live in the countryside?"
The teller smiled and responded, "Auntie, I’m not joking with you at all. Shangguan Xu is indeed our manager, and he comes from an exceptional family background. His family’s business is a century-old illustrious household in Beijing. As for why he lives in the countryside, I heard it’s because the elders in his family say the rural air is better. But our manager only stays there once a week."
Speaking of Shangguan Xu, the teller had a lot to say, "Our manager is a man with ideals and aspirations. He doesn’t want to inherit the family wealth. I heard that in the future, the Shangguan Family’s property will all be left to his sister, Shangguan Xi. However, his sister is an outstanding girl too. She is currently learning at the Mingming Group to take over the family business, and it won’t be long before she takes charge..."
Boom!
It was like a clap of thunder rang in the ears of Madam Zuo and Zuo Ling.
They were left dizzy and disoriented.
What’s going on?
How could this be?
Who could have imagined that Shangguan Xi’s family background was this remarkable?
Zuo Ling wished he could immediately throw himself into the river.
He was filled with regret.
He regretted not cherishing Shangguan Xi properly!
If he had cherished her, then all of the Shangguan Family’s property would be his.
Madam Zuo felt even worse than Zuo Ling!
After all, the person who disagreed with Shangguan Xi and Zuo Ling getting together was her...
What foolishness had she committed!
She wished she could smash her head against a wall.
It was truly a case of losing a goldmine and picking up a sesame seed.
Mother and son burst into tears on the spot!
The teller was startled, "Wha-what’s wrong with you two?"
Madam Zuo and Zuo Ling left the bank, bewildered.
Zuo Ling angrily said, "It’s all your fault, Mom! If it weren’t for your meddling, Shangguan Xi and I would be married by now! I’d be the Shangguan Family’s son-in-law!"
Shangguan Xi had even sneaked out her household registration book, ready to register their marriage with him!
Zuo Ling was full of regret, so much regret!
Madam Zuo, crying, said, "Blame me, it’s all my fault! Hit me, Lingling! I let you down, I was blind..."
"What good is hitting you? Will that bring Shangguan Xi back?"
Just then, Madam Zuo suddenly stopped crying and looked up at Zuo Ling, "Lingling, Shangguan Xi likes you so much, she couldn’t have forgotten about you so quickly. Let’s go find her now! You apologize to her, truly apologize! Maybe she’ll forgive you!"
